Each of the 2018 American Silver Eagle “Moon Edition” Four Seasons Coin Sets arrives with a protective display that includes four 2018 American Silver Eagles in total. Each coin features a layer of Ruthenium that helps depict one of four different phases of the moon. Coins in the set are in BU condition and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
There are four major moon phases that refer to the relative positions of the sun, moon, and earth as the moon goes about its orbit around the planet. In total, however, there are eight phases that the moon goes through during its 29-day orbit around planet Earth. Four of those phases are depicted on the obverse surface of the individual 2018 American Silver Eagle coins in the “Moon Edition.”
Included in this set are depictions of the moon in its New Moon, Waxing Crescent, Quarter, and Full Moon phases. The New Moon coin design features an obverse field completely covered in the darkness of the Ruthenium layer. The Waxing Crescent has a small sliver of the brilliant silver, while the Quarter Moon is split nearly half-and-half between the Ruthenium and pure silver. For the full moon, the entire image of Walking Liberty shines in its bright, natural silver with a small portion of Ruthenium along the bottom stripe with the year of issue.
On the obverse of all 2018 American Silver Eagle “Moon Edition” Four Seasons Coins is the depiction of Walking Liberty created in 1916 by Adolph A. Weinman. John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle of the United States is found on the reverse side of all coins in this four-coin set.

“Arrived today and is very nice, however I did not like the square coin cases so I removed the ASE’s from the square and put them in round capsules. Looks much better.”
